  • why is Decisive Strike considered Toxic and cancerous? I mean it is a one time use hit or miss so I don't see the problem with it. It's no more of a get out of jail free card than NOED is. what would be a good nerf to it if its to get needed? If you get the skill check the killers drops you but you still stay in the dying phase? If you land the skill check the killer drops you and you enter a

  • So about 2 months ago I got SUPER bullied by a 4 man swf, you know the drill 4 Flashlights, 4 DS, 4 BT etc. So anyway they gave me all sorts of crap after the match " How are you a rank 1 killer dud " ( clearly Ochido fans ) But anyway, a couple of weeks ago I met them again. At first I was just gonna leave but then I thought no, lets give this a go. So I geared up my Clown and went at it. 1

  • Just watched the Live Stream with Mathew. He said something during the stream that Id like to talk about. "not every time are we gonna make a killer that will reach rank one or be viable at rank 1" "Is this going to be fun to play with and to vs." My own opinion is that at every rank killers should be viable. this keeps the high ranks diverse. Meaning more variation for survivors to verse.

  • For the Adept Survivor trophies, does the escape count if you don’t escape out of the Exit Gates? My friend and me both escaped down the hatch with the Hatch Key and we did not get the trophy?

  • First rule of the forum: "Do not insult, harass or flame other forum members". And yet every thread with more than 2 replied is full of insults and flames. Certain people are constantly throwing insults and ad hominem attacks on every thread they participate in (we all know who they are). This forum has become so toxic it is absurd.

  • Am I... The only one not having any hype for the new chapter? I don't know why but it doesn't feel like anything special. I'll buy it, for sure, but I don't feel excited about it or anything. Though I've had my focus more on other discussions like TydeTime already presuming the killer is bad based on what the Developers said about Freddy and forgetting about the fact that not every player is com

  • I was playing survivor tonight and everything was ok until I closed the game. I went to reopen it a little later only to find that I'd lost both street meg and science fair claudette cosmetics. In an effort to rectify the issue I verified my game files and reopened the game. Not only did the lost cosmetics not return, I then also lost the red left 4 dead shirts as well. So far I've verified th

  • Not sure if anyone has had this issue, but while playing as a killer it takes a rather long time for people to join my game...could there be a reason why that is, I see there are about 10K people playing and I dont think it should be too hard to find a group.

  • okay. i know 99.9% of us hate the 45 min hatch standoffs because some pleb wont just do gens, but why don't they make the hatch have like one or two quick "unlock" skill checks, if the survivor is the last remaining. please let killers close the hatch if we get to it first, or supplement it with something like that.

  • I dont know what it is but i can not escape for the life of me. I play on Xbox and ps4 and I dont know if it is a connection issue somtimes or what because the killer can hits me miles away it seems like. The bend around corners while I drop a pallet and they appear on the side I am on gets me every time. I was twitch streamers and their character seems fast and keeps a distance. I just plain suck

  • Seriously, 2 days now this game is unplayable! You guys are losing every new player who downloaded this. While this game was fun the few Times I played, I’ve had more connection issues than Time played. I had 3 friends DL the game and I’m the only one left ho hasn’t deleted it yet. You guys need to get it together. You will lose every new player you could have gained.

  • So Mathieu asked us to provide feedback regarding the stream: please consider showing high rank gameplay. Highest killer was Horvath with rank 14 and survivors played around rank 18-20 with Janick failing every gen skill check there was (achievement unlocked). The game experience is completely different on high ranks! that being said, i really enjoyed watching the devs play and hope you rep

  • I think the chainsaw should regress by 5-10% like Hillbilly before he puts it away, this will prevent all these times where you prepare the attack and miss your chance because it was only 99% when you released your M2.

  • Using the Nurse is damn near impossible you can’t keep up with anyone and the lunge is a damn joke you can’t even hit anyone without being directly behind them. We should get some additional buffs like instead of having to get the add on to see where your blinks are going that should just be implemented on her and maybe have it to where she doesn’t look down and shake her head but look up and hav

  • Look, I don't care what the next killer is. I will use them no matter what but to be honest, I've become so excited about it being the Slit Mouth Woman that I would be kinda upset if it isn't. Anyone else with me on this? There is just so much hype about her that if they don't, they should come back to the idea later down the line.

  • I’ve been using M&A 3 on my Trapper to make it harder for Survivors to know where I’m placing traps using the reduced TR. Now that Sloppy Butcher has been buffed and seems pretty decent now, I’m considering using it as a replacement for M&A. I’m not sure the Mangled status effect will stack with Trapper’s add-ons or not, but I have around twenty Serrated Jaws (trapped Survivor has the Hemo

  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lv35nylikfU I think the new killer should be Shuten-dōji (酒呑童子/しゅてんどうじ). Shuten-dōji is a mythical oni or demon leader of Japan, who according to legend was killed by the hero Minamoto Raikō. Although decapitated, the demon's detached head still took a bite at the hero, who avoided death by wearing multiple helmets stacked on his head. During the rei

  • Hello, I'm pretty new to this game but fell in love with it quick but I don't know what a couple of things are yet. For instance what is tunneling? Something the killer does I guess but not sure. Also looping. I think it's where you go around a pallet while being chase, but isn't that a tactic? Not sure what is frowned upon by the community or praised.

Instead, i will make some suggestions that will give you, as the killer, a smoother gameplay experience with the totems, so there wont be any buffs or nerfs in here. My first suggestion would be, to change the Hex Totems aura color from red to blue (like event

  • They just announced on the stream that we can play the new characters on tuesday. I am so excited. Still think it is a female killer. They once said that killers will neeeever talk so we can say it is not the guy more likely the woman was reborn after being killed maybe as an Onni?

  • Contrary to popular belief I predict that the killer will be the Oni due to the fact that the first image we see in the "First cut" is the mask of an Oni. Secondly the first teaser had heavy footsteps unlikely to be a woman due to Japan's sexists veiws back then.

  • So this is just a thought but if the killer is the woman we ear screaming in the video, she might became slit mouth of course, but she could also be something else. NEW KILLER THEORY: Ubume is a traditional demon from the japanese folklore and her name translates to woman with child (I guess, fyi I translated it from a french wiki page). The reason that makes me think that it might be Ubume is

Introduction Currently as it is killers are usually very predictable even without knowing their unique perk setup, because each killer emphasizes on specific gameplay, which over time and experience become less and less "scary", because they're too predictable, and since the unique surviv

  • Been playing for about a week, pretty much Survivor only, and I’m getting the hang of most things but I seriously have no idea how to defend myself from the Pig. She has no terror radius, so if they’re good at sneaking I’ve got no indication that they’re anywhere near me, and any time I get an RBT it takes 4-5 tries to I assume successfuly remove it. I say that because in the time it takes me to r
